Mission: The mission of longwood symphony orchestra, the orchestra of boston's medical community, is to perform concerts of musical diversity and excellence, while supporting health-related nonprofit organizations through public performances.
Programs: The longwood symphony orchestra (the "lso")performs concerts for the purpose of community outreach and fundraising for medically related nonprofit organizations. The lso's "healing art of music" program has raised money for worthy causes and has been nationally recognized with the league of american orchestras' metlife award for excellence in community engagement and the highest cultural recognition in massachusetts, the commonwealth award. Off stage, the lso curates "lso on call", a community outreach initiative that brings free chamber music directly to patients across massachusetts in hospital wards, rehabilitation centers, and health care facilities. The orchestra has a number of standing chamber ensembles who present free lso on call performances regularly. Through its "community conversations" program, the orchestra promotes community-wide dialogue among today's experts in the arts and sciences on the intersection of music and medicine.
